I'm using the Openbox_S10_1011, works fine for me on a unit that id's as being "genuine" (whatever that is for an s10) but I don't PVR. As the latest OEM firmware, I'd hope it PVR's as good as any prior version. This firmware is European so have to do the PAL/NTSC dance and ended up loading a NA sat list after loading the firmware (but now would just save my current sat file on a stick and relaod if the firmware is updated again)
I always try the latest to see how it performs,the latest I could find was actually for the yumy s10 (thailand?)that was dated dec 12 on the info screen.
I had to revert back today to 04-04 for 30w research and fun.

@ the the Red Highlighted. Where is this displayed on the S10, or how can you access where it is displayed as "genuine"?
Go here it tells you how to do it. : Openbox S9 HD PVR,Skybox S9 HD PVR,Dreambox 500s,WIFI Bridge,HDMI Cable,LNB|SHENZHEN WANYING ELETRONICS LIMITED
Nothing displayed on the screen when I followed the steps provided in the link on post #6. The steps I followed were; Menu -----> Tools----> OK to highlight "Information" then in typed 777777 and nothing happened!
....and 8888 brings up "CA CARD" and "CHIP ID", but i can't seem to get the 777777 to display anything.
the numbers you punch in varies with the firmware rev.
On old s9 firmware I am playing with now on the s10 the chip id is whacked out.9F10
my real id is 07de

worst case you can pop the lid to see if the security chip is installed(next to the flash chip u39)
Didn't we go around in circles with this some time ago? I thought the bottom line was that:
a) multiple manufacturers of the "Openbox" mean different behaviors and that NOTHING is "genuine" in FTA coming from China...
b) the "genuine" test means nothing......and rumors of the "kill after x (amount of) reboots" were just rumors....
or did I dream "A" and "B"...

kill is actually a misnomer,you can always restore via rs232 port.
It gets triggered by reboots,so duh just leave the receiver on all the time if you are terrified.

Is this thread mainly referring to the FW version that is uploaded to Satguys on 11-23? (the version that shows in the billboard on the right on the download page)...It's new to me, but before I do my own comparative review, just wanted to make sure it isn't the same as another version with a different date or source! I'd enjoy posting any improvements it makes to my S10 and any quirks that remain.
the only true date test as of this writing is to load the firmware and look at the info screen.
At one time you could use the firmware tool to look at the userdb date before loading,but people are able to change that date now to whatever they want.The maincode is encrypted and compressed,so there is no way of detecting the date until you load it.I spent many hours loading firmware that was named incorrectly.
